Former South African President Jacob Zuma appears before the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture in Johannesburg, South Africa, on July 16, 2019. The constitutional court last week ordered Zuma jailed for refusing to give evidence at an inquiry into corruption during his nine years in office from 2009. Magashule is aligned with Zuma's ANC faction, which has been the most potent internal force opposing the president. He and the Gupta brothers, who fled South Africa after Zuma was ousted, deny wrongdoing. Zuma also faces another case relating to a $2 billion arms deal in 1999 when he was deputy president.
